Jurassic World sketch was funny because of his overacting.

And I can’t believe they got Stormy Daniels in the cold open. That was unexpected.

Feeling too sleepy to watch the rest though sadly

3.) They were mean to Trump!!!

4.) I hate Leslie Jones!!!

First episode since i quit DVRing it. I got tired of fast forwarding through 1.5 hours of forced, unfunny political skits and the shitty musical guests just for 3 skits.

This was a terrible episode. Both Donald Glover and his band were awful.

Bummer.

Best episode of the season easily. This is what happens when you get a very talented comedic actor and good writing. That month long break did the show some good.

The political openers every single week of Trump are getting so old . I don’t even watch them anymore .

The episode sucked aside from the Barbie skit. That was pretty hilarious.

I saw the first number, and it left me wondering if Childish Gambino is a parody act like the dumb name suggests.

What happened to Childish Gambino, the rapper?

Glover's entire career is a parody act.

I wouldn't say that about his acting career. I don't think his goal there is to be so deliberately bad as to be entertaining. And while I'm not a rap fan, I thought he was well regarded by those who are.

Odd, like he was trying to sing as much as possible. He sung in four skits plus he was musical first.

The weekend update guys seem all in on Trump getting impeached. I miss the days where SNL didn’t so blatantly show their cards. It’s not even funny. It’s just kind of sad to watch these dumbassss try to convince themselves and the audience that this is a sure thing. They’ve literally become an arm of CNN. I mean, they literally had a porn star on the show.

That said, aside from the political stuff, was a pretty good episode. DG delivered IMO.

Yeah she's such a professional and dignified person, it amazes me she's do something attention whore-ish and try her hardest to stay in the spot light. Really unbelievable that she'd be on national television promoting herself.

Agreed. They aren't even doing jokes anymore. Just jamming political commentary into the show.

There's a difference between political satire and caricature humor and straight political commentary. The current generation of writers at SNL don't understand the diffence.
